this was a good book that does a nice job of having little bits that set up the other stories and also these weird parts after this perfectly good story is done that goes like ALSO MONTHS LATER THIS OTHER THING HAPPENED TO ALSO END THIS STORY so you can take them or leave them but why not take them? life isn't precious and neither are books or stories, they're parts of out lives and the shift and change whether we want them to or not, and then we have to deal with it, and that's amazing, that's fucking life, this book is, whether you like it or not, alive, and some people i think just don't like to deal with the living.

these stories come from some pure voice of pain and transformation. i can hear them in scott's voice, his southern accent and lilting way of talking as he walks around the room, sometimes speeding through the dialogue and sometimes taking you s l o w s l o w through the words so that you feel them and you feel them.
i just wish this collection would have been longer so that it would go on and on.

Scott McClanahan and his works are like the guy in high school your dad demanded you stay away from, but you just can't. He's hilarious, deep, heartbreaking. You cringe, yet you can't turn away because he is everything.
